Re: December Active Groups

4 Years Ago


Just this April of 2020 I have created The Weird Fiction Circle here on Writers' Cafe. 

Weird fiction is a subgenre of speculative literature originating from the 19th and 20th century which focuses on exactly what it says: the weirdest things imaginable. This genre is based around the complete eschewment or drastical reinterpretation of traditional fantasy, sci-fi, and horror, to create a mood that truly feels otherworldly. Famous authors in this circle include Howard Phillips Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Lord Dunsany, and a few others operating within the Gothic horror genre such as Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker.

If you are interested in writing within this genre, please join The Weird Fiction Circle. As of the time of this post I am the only active member, but I plan on advertising the group through The Shadow of Lovecraft: Weird Fiction contest that I have recently made as well. Hopefully that should get more members on our side as the competition persists through April.
